The Weak Counterattack
Niu Dingtian reached out and grabbed one of them, a smile on his face, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You should understand that the longer you wait, the greater the chance of killing me, and the more opportunities you'll have."
"But at least I want to die as myself. I'm afraid if I don't act soon, I'll become unlike myself, and I might even forget my original purpose of killing you." The man said weakly as Niu Dingtian's huge hand grabbed his entire head.
"In fact, only today have I realized that I've changed too much without even realizing it, and so have others," the man said with a smile. "I know I can't kill you, but at least I want to remind others that they must never forget the purpose we set when we first drank your blood."
"Kill me." Niu Dingtian laughed.
"Yes, I'll kill you." The man laughed, then was crushed into powder by Niu Dingtian. At the same time, a ring marked with Black Day fell to the ground, and the Black Day on it Integration Niu Dingtian's body along with the man's death.
Niu Dingtian rubbed his forehead, looked at the people below the stage with expressions of indignation and sorrow, and said nonchalantly, "That's true, it seems you've gradually forgotten your initial goal."
Niu Dingtian initially handed over the power of the Shadow to them because they were too weak to kill him. Now, these people are gathered around Niu Dingtian, forgetting that Niu Dingtian joined the Shadow in the first place to kill him.
They began to enjoy the fact that, together with Niu Dingtian, they controlled the fate of the other weak. They no longer had any thoughts of revenge, and even called themselves the Demon King Army, conquering cities and territories for Niu Dingtian, enjoying the fearful expressions of others, and enjoying the feeling of power.
"So, are you all envious of me? My immense power, my status as the Demon King, and my ability to do whatever I want." Niu Dingtian looked at the crowd below and chuckled, "I've heard that many people have formed some kind of the Demon-Slaying Alliance. Don't you think that's a great opportunity?"
"Whether you seek revenge or are simply Envy my position as Demon King, seize the opportunity to kill me. I will place a forbidden spell upon me." Niu Dingtian shifted to a more comfortable position in his seat and continued, "Anyone who possesses the power of shadow can gain all my power by killing me, and thus become the next Demon King."
After Niu Dingtian spoke, most people's breathing became much heavier. They had become demon kings. These people, following Niu Dingtian, had abandoned their original ethics and morality, rampaging around them. The beast in their hearts had been completely unleashed.
They enjoy their current lives, yet they fear the Demon Niu Dingtian, who reigns above them. Now, they have the opportunity to obtain the Demon King's immense power and the identity of a Demon King who rules over everyone.
"Of course, you should think twice before you make a move. After all, if you can't kill me, then I'll kill you." Niu Dingtian laughed heartily. If you want to reach the peak, you must have the aura to reach the peak. If the road is too smooth, you can't climb to the top.
"That so-called Demon-Slaying Alliance is too weak. They don't know how powerful I am yet. So go ahead and destroy! Go ahead and kill! Go ahead and spread the word! Let more people oppose me, so that you can pave the way for killing me."
"Understood, Lord Demon King." Everyone below lowered their heads. At this moment, Niu Dingtian might have been arrogant or conceited, but he was undeniably charming. His domineering demeanor aroused the envy of countless people.
Subsequently, the people of Great Cloud Mountain launched attacks in all directions, raising the name of Demon Niu Dingtian, and wantonly attacked various towns, plundering their resources, which further amplified the reputation of that Demon King.
Previously, the Demon King Army only operated around Great Cloud Mountain, but after Niu Dingtian's words, it began to spread everywhere. Many young people regarded the Bull Demon King as a faith. After burning, killing, and looting, they would run to Great Cloud Mountain and ask to join the Demon King Army.
Niu Dingtian accepted all comers, regardless of who they were or what their purpose was. As long as they accepted the Shadow Power, they could join. Some young people even bluntly stated that their purpose in joining was to kill Niu Dingtian and become the new Demon King. Niu Dingtian was not angry at all; on the contrary, he gave these people a good reward.
At some point, the so-called Demon King became a kind of faith, a figure who could act without restraint and with impunity. Some who joined the Demon King Army spontaneously began to uphold the Demon King's prestige. While upholding the Demon King's prestige, they also desperately wanted to kill the Demon King and become the new Demon King.
All these actions made the Demon King's harm extremely great. At first, many people were indifferent and just watched the show, but only the parents of the students from Great Cloud Mountain were the main force.
But now, after the Demon King Army has spread its harm, many people on the continent hate the Demon King to the core. Almost every town has some immature teenagers or ambitious people. In the past, under this environment, they dared not do anything unconventional, until their edges were slowly worn away.
Once the title of Demon King was established, they gained faith. Those who were able to do so would burn, kill, and plunder before joining the Demon King Army, while those who were not able to would secretly leave behind a letter and leave, which has led to various towns now restricting the movement of people.
This also made the Demon-Slaying Alliance, which was not very strong to begin with, become enormous. Experts from all walks of life began to gather. Originally, there were only two Heavenly Rank experts, but several more suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Damn it!" Yang An clenched his fist angrily and slammed it heavily on the table. The joy of awakening his Heavenly Grade Soul ahead of schedule vanished. The thing that worried him the most had happened: the future in his memories was beginning to change.
Yang An always knew that his greatest advantage was knowing information about the future, information that was far more detailed than that of the Heavenly Secret Stone. The main use of the Heavenly Secret Stone was actually to calculate the past and present.
In his memory, this demon-slaying operation should have been a futile effort, and the Demon Niu Dingtian's announcement of his succession to the Demon King's throne should have been made after this operation. Unexpectedly, it happened earlier than planned, which greatly changed the future.
"You may all leave. Inform the patriarch and elders that I need to perform another divination of the heavens," Yang An said calmly, regaining his composure. The guards assigned by the family to protect him nodded and left the room.
After the ability scan revealed no hidden individuals, Yang An took out the Heavenly Secret Stone. He needed to recalculate the heavenly secrets to see if the tragedy of the Yang Family being affected and wiped out would repeat itself.
A few minutes later, Yang An, Yang Mo, and several elders, who had entered a state of enlightenment, began to discuss the previously calculated scenario. The fact that the Yang Family had been wiped out remained unchanged, but it had become more direct, and they needed to face it in advance.
